Each year of Electric Daisy Carnival seems to top the one before. After being forced to shut down early on Day 2 last year due to high winds, Insomniac came back with a vengeance, and the consensus is that this year was the best yet. Everything from the Burning Man-inspired art cars, to the incredible stage structures (namely the main stage, Kinetic Field, which featured a massive owl at its center), to the stacked lineup that included artists from across the dance music spectrum, was nothing short of magical. It was 3 days of pure, electrifying bliss, and getting back to the real world after it was over is a struggle many ravers are still dealing with. To help you through your post-EDC depression, here are 10 of our favorite artist Instagram photos from this year's epic event:
